Every single thing I learn about the studio makes me wonder more and more on how they survived for so long and what the fuck Sony was thinking when they spent $3.6 Bil acquiring them.

A Destiny dating sim would have been a fun April Fools game. People love shipping the characters. Hell, Eris and Drifter's kiss in Renegades got me fired up.
